[[cluster-nodes-hot-threads]] == Nodes hot_threads An API allowing to get the current hot threads on each node in the cluster. Endpoints are `/_nodes/hot_threads`, and `/_nodes/{nodesIds}/hot_threads`. The output is plain text with a breakdown of each node's top hot threads. Parameters allowed are: [horizontal] `threads`:: number of hot threads to provide, defaults to 3. `interval`:: the interval to do the second sampling of threads. Defaults to 500ms. `type`:: The type to sample, defaults to cpu, but supports wait and block to see hot threads that are in wait or block state. `ignore_idle_threads`:: If true, known idle threads (e.g. waiting in a socket select, or to get a task from an empty queue) are filtered out. Defaults to true.
